Hello,I am a first year grower and I need some advice.I have read and been told that I should cut the tertiary vines when they come on.The problem is that I didn't get this information until the vines were already about a foot or so long.Can I still cut the vines?Should I cut them flush or leave a stub? Will cutting them after this much growth hurt my plant?Any information would be great..
Thanks Loot

Loot,
You can cut them off now, no problem and cutting them off flush works fine for me. It's a little easier to pinch off the tertiaries when they first appear and are very small.

Yep, pinching them when they are soft and very small is a good habit to get into.
